[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 820316, member: 282"] I’ll use bullets, because these are all disjointed thoughts [LIST] [*]Usually, when a new coach turns a team around, the latest it happens is year two. Because of the COVID mess last year, and because of that you weren’t going to get a team meeting where the leaders turned the team around, I could have seen that get pushed to this season. We’re out of runway and it’s time to take off. The coaches need to get themselves straightened out and the players do too. [*]When I see the idea of Key being HC, I also have to ask why we aren’t blocking well after three seasons. Maybe it’s because our practices aren’t set up well, but this is way too long—on both the offensivee and defensive lines—not to have our acts together. [*]If we fire assistant coaches mid season, who are we pulling in to replace them? Are we finding retired coaches to pull in? How is that supposed to work? [*]I’ve seen Calvin Johnson drop a game winning pass in the end zone against NCST. I’ve seen Citadel and most of the Curry years and Gardner Webb. Being a Tech fan, at least for football, has more Furman memories than Orange Bowl memories. [*]We looked like we don’t practice together, or know what we were supposed to do when we went on the field. [*]Yates played a game that deserved a win against a bigger opponent instead of a loss to NIU. It’s a sin for the coaches to waste an effort like that. [*]It’s picking a nit, but the time outs weren’t the problem—it was the 45 seconds before each of the time outs that were the problem. We could all see that almost the entire offensive 11 were confused. [*]^^ it wasn’t just the time-out plays, but the time out plays were bad [*]I mentioned this in Chat, but we never blocked both NIU gunners during their punts. If we were lucky, we got one blocked, but at least one of them always had a clean shot at our returners. [*]Our kickoff return blocking might have improved from last year, but it’s hard to believe. How can you not make blocks against a young NIU team on special teams? [*]Our FG blocking was poor [*]I was concerned about the Guard-Tackle handoffs, and I saw a few times where someone ran right between them. [*]I don’t think NIU has a great coach, but he was good enough. If he’d been a little smarter, he could have made the game uglier. [*]We could not get a good pass rush.

We do need the train back on the tracks, though. We keep making the same mistakes over and over. [/QUOTE]
